In Interstellar, Murph’s teachers explain to Cooper that the moon-landing was fabricated; a successful piece of propaganda that bankrupted the soviets.
Is it ever mentioned if this statement was true or not for the universe of Interstellar? According to this movie and all the people in it, was the moon-landing a hoax? Does the movie make mention of it? Do the creators make mention of it out of universe?
NASA being functional in 2070 is not necessarily proof that it was functional enough to land on the moon in the 1960s, or that they did it even if they were functional enough.
I’m trying to make it obvious that I’m strictly talking about the movie and not real life, since, of course, the movie is fiction.
